Nose Job
Liner Notes
Jack Hastings' and Spencer Kimball's song might be considered a bit of #blues infused #alternative #indie #folkrock or perhaps something altogether different.
Lyrics
It’s been coming a long time Seeping across the land The stench of sulfur and brimstone The touch of the Devil’s hand Oh, how it bites and stings As the evil smokes and burns I can’t stand this stink no more And I don’t know where to turn
There’s a smell comin’ cross the river From a house as white as a whore From a man with a mixed up monkey mug And skin like a rotten orange No perfume can mask it Or make it go away Gonna have to get me a nose job And they’re gonna have to pay
Chorus I can’t stand the stink no more Got to get it out of my nose Gonna cut it off to spite my face That’s the way this story goes
I’ve smelled bad and I’ve smelled worse But this is beyond the pale It’s an acrid stench that burns your soul Like fire from the pits of Hell
Bridge Gotta get a nose job (nose job) Just scrape it off of my face Give me a nose job (nose job) To take that reek away
I have tried the clothespin Candles, incense too But that aroma of corruption Just keeps on seeping through
And it smells like a sorrow It smells like despair Gonna have to get me a nose job If we can’t clear the air
Nice tune, and interesting choices in weaving in those metaphors into literalism!
